The Arizona Coyotes decided to move on from soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Mikkel Boedker, trading him to the Colorado Avalanche.

Coyotes fans will remember Boedker for his two straight game-winning goals in overtime against the Chicago Blackhawks in games 3 and 4 of the first round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Coyotes youth movement is in full swing now, with forwards Max Domi and Anthony Duclair already making an impact this season and plenty more to come on the way. Centers Dylan Strome and Christian Dvorak are highly regarded prospects and the Coyotes are well-stocked with other young forwards.
